Authors present the case of a newborn presenting a 3 x 4 cm umbilical cord tumor of red-violet color, soft consistency and painless located at 1 cm of abdominal wall. During its evolution there was a gradual decrease size, low bleeding, and as a complication the presence of an umbilical granuloma and delay of fall cord (21 days). At 45 days the navel was normal. We performed a clinical catheterization of the pathology and also offer updated review on this matter.

Palabras clave : Umbilical cord hematoma; umbilical hematoma.
